TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. . .. four fine types 
Great care is exercised in the se- 
lection of our Begonia tubers. Only 
the strongest tubers are chosen for 
you... tubers that are sure to 
bloom profusely and produce the 
largest, most robust plants and blos- 
soms for you. 
Begonia tubers are available from 
February thru May. Plant early in- 
doors in pots or flats using leaf mold. 
When frost danger is over, move to 
the open garden. Protect from the 
hot sun, and water regularly and | 
often. 
Peat moss makes an ideal humus 
medium if you are unable to obtain 
leaf mold. 
_ Demand is heavy . . . delay in select- 
ing what you want may mean dis- 
appointment.

hanging basket or pot. We suggest that 
you plant tubers in a mixture consisting 
of one-third each of well rotted manure,
